"Due to an incident that took place on August 18 at a Tsawwassen house party, both players will be in court on November 20th to have these matters dealt with.

We cannot comment on the charges or the likely outcome at this time, and hopefully this will all be behind us after that court date.

What we can say is that our players are held to a higher standard and, for the most part, live up to that.

This is the first instance that we have had a player have to go to court and that is unfortunate.

Both Jackson and Brett have been, and are, exceptional people.

They have been good students, and have put in many hours of community service hours through school visits and the Read to Succeed program, Odd Squad with Chris Graham of the Vancouver Police, and hospital visits with the Giants' Christmas program.

Both these players have been, and are, very good citizens and have been good members of our community.

It is unfortunate that one negative incident gets the attention instead of all the good things that have been done.

They are both prepared to deal with whatever the court decides.

Please appreciate and understand that the players and anyone from the Vancouver Giants organization cannot comment on any of these legal matters.

Thank You."
